Seriously, Linda, you should have stuck around to see what famous person he was waiting there to accompany through the parks. You know he is requested by all the mucky mucks, cuz he's just the bestest ever!

Ok, so now you gotta share what brand of candle it is and where I can get one! Although, I'm sure it will just make me crave ice cream if I burn it.

It's an Essenza Home Fragrance Candle (vanilla bean) and I got it at Costco in a package of 4 Essenza candles with different scents. Of course this one is my favorite. You know that smell they pump out of Gibson Girl as you walk by? That's how this candle smells......and I mean exactly the same. My hubby and I were just talking about how much it smells like the icecream shop on Main Street just a few days ago. It's a little piece of Disney that I can enjoy when I'm not in the parks. It does tend to make me crave icecream though.

No truer words have been spoken!

I just find it so funny that of all the CM plaids at DL, we seem to run into him (waiting or looking for "his" bigwig) everytime we are in the parks!

And yes Capri, Bree is tan, she started at the tanning booth to prepare for Palm Springs over Spring Break and now gets sun whenever she can to keep the glow. And yes, I have lectured her about sun damage, but I did it too up until about 5 years ago, so I know how it is. And TWINS? Of course we are, except the thirty pound & twenty five year age difference!

I was thinking that a group of us Washingtonians, plus our Canuck friend, should all meet up at Wild Waves/Enchanted Village. They have good deals all the time (but we have Annual Passes), so it wouldn't be too bad, or you can get group pricing with 12 tickets or more, ordered 2 weeks in advance for $20 each. What do you all think of that idea? We love to spend the day there, and it is pretty good for a wide range of ages, and hey, they have a beer garden too!

Don't forget about us Oregonians! I'm up for it, or down for it, or dialed in, whatever.

Ok ladies. Its coming down to the wire now. Who's gonna take one for the team and have the DIVA baby in time for the trip? Come on. Look at the ticker, time is running out. Speak up and be heard. Come on, you know you wannna.

And if they time it right, they can have it at Disney! What happens if you go into labor in the parks?

Not really. Hard to explain more like a warehouse kind of setup but not a Costco...no frills, displays just shelves of food in boxes and the prices are a bit lower than like a Pavillions. They also have limited brands and products. Hope that helps at all?

Fresh and Easy is a chain store that is owned by a big English grocery company. They came into soCal (and maybe some other areas) a couple of years ago hoping to become the "next big thing." so far, they haven't been. I have one up the street and have never been in it. I guess I should go and check it out.

I know someone on the previous thread (I tried to find the post ) had asked what this "Tech. Sgt. Stephanie Brennan, 412th Logistics Test Squadron F-22 Raptor logistics test and evaluation noncommissioned officer in charge" means? So here goes my rank is Technical (Tech for short) Sergeant. I am assigned to the 412th Logistics Test Squadron. This squadron looks at the latest in aircraft systems while in a developmental stage. We get to see the systems before the rest of the Air Force by doing so we're able to fix any problems that we find before the systems are released to the Air Force as a whole. Specifially I work with the F-22 aircraft also known as Raptor. Logistics test and evaluation is the testing, documenting and evaluating the new systems. Noncommisioned officer in charge is that I'm the 'boss' of the enlisted members within my section. By the way I don't like the term boss but it's better than 'in charge'. I hope that makes sense and I didn't confuse anyone further.

Steph: that makes more sense, but now I have more questions if you have time and are allowed to answer. some of these are things I've always wanted to know (I know--I'm weird).

What is noncommissioned versus enlisted?

Do you have engineering training to do your job? Or do you oversee engineers? I've recently become more interested because my BFF is a pilot and she and her boyfriend have recently started an aviation fastener company. Not that I will ever fly in a small plane. No way--no how.

I would say its more like a Trader Joe's. They sell very few other brands, and sell their own brand as well. They concentrate on fresh foods. They also have a lot of ready to go things that are really yummy. I find them to be really cheap with certain things. Stay away from the dessert case. You can go broke there.

LIKE I SAID--HAVE NEVER BEEN THERE, BUT DON'T THEY ALSO SELL A LOT OF PRE-PREPARED MEALS AND SUCH? THE IDEA BEING YOU CAN STOP BY AND PICK UP DINNER ON THE WAY HOME AND JUST HEAT IT UP?

Come on June, hurry up.

AGREED.

My local Fresh and Easy used to do all the bagging for us until recently. But they still do most of the bagging for me.

Ok, as promised, here are a few pix of the Sweet Sunday event Cheryl, Doris, Brianne, DH(Chris) & I attended yesterday.

Here are the first two desserts served. The third one (ice cream sundae) was the best, but by that time I had had 4 glasses of champagne (BTW they are small flutes) and taking pix was not on my mindOH NOW--THEY WEREN'T "THAT" SMALL!
